Password required every time I write to a USB drive

[dynalmadman]

Hi guys,

I have an external USB drive that I used to have plugged into my router and shared from there.

Today, I shut everything down and moved the USB drive, plugged directly into my Mac. Everything reads fine, but every time I try to move a file to the drive Finder asks for my password. Every time. Even when I just try to rename a file.

Permissions are Read/Write for everyone.

Looking at details in the Disk Utility, it reads that Ownership is set. Is that the problem? If so, how do I turn that off?

2015 Macbook Pro Retina, El Capitan 10.11.2

Thank you
Michael

Select the drive in Finder then hit command-i to bring up the get info box. Then check this box at the bottom. See if that helps.
